4.  Application of MP Series Sheet Metal Plate Butt Joining Welding Machine:

1) Task: MP series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine is used for fulfilling flat butt joining on 2 pieces of metal plates (Material: carbon steel/ stainless steel/ Al) by means of butt welding;

2) The Related Products with this Plate Flat Butt Welder include: RH series Edge Rounding Machine, and J series Stiffener Plate Straightening Machine, which are used for manufacturing on large machinery;

3)  Applied Industries: Together with MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, these machineries can be formed up various production line for Shipbuilding / Port Machinery, and Bridge Construction, Hoisting Machinery /Steel structure/ Tank Welding, etc., which have common points of large size steel plate being consumed as its raw material;

4)  Besides, MP series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine can also be applied as individual equipment of plate Flat Butt Welder under any special case.

B. Technical Superiority of Wuxi JACK MP Series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

1. Patent Technology of Melt-Thru: In 2016 Wuxi JACK engineering team got the patent on core technology being applied in MP series Plate Butt Joining Welding Machine--- Melt Thru welding, which means: Single side welding and double sides welding seam formation:

Melt thru welding being carried out in Wuxi JACK MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine: (Fig.4)

2.  Welding Technique Adopted in Wuxi JACK MP Series Sheet Metal Plate Butt Joining Welding Machine:

1) Outline: MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine is an efficient automatic running plate Flat Butt Welder, developed by our company on the basis of advanced technique, for butt joining on metal pieces of any size production;

2) Welding Modes Options on the Basis of Plate Thickness: The MP models Plate Joint Welding Machine can adopt welding technique of: Both GMAW CO₂ welding for welding on thin plates, and SAW Submerged Arc Welding for welding on thick plates, with advantages of little deformation/ convenient and safe operation/ As well as good quality;

3.  One Machine with Two Functions in Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Plate Flat Butt Welder:

1)  Plate Edge Milling Necessary: When plate thickness exceeds 15mm, to get full penetration of welding seam from the operation of melt-thru welding in the plate Flat Butt Welder, edge of plate need to be beveled before melt-thru welding;

2) Beveling Way: This can be acquired either with XBJ series Edge Milling Machine or CNC-CG model Triple Flame Cutting Machine; Or, in MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, its plates coming in side can be equipped with triple flame cutting unit:

C. Cost Saving and Production Efficiency Raise Benefitted from Wuxi JACK Flat Butt Welder Plate Joint Welding Machine:

1.  Before Development of MP Series Sheet Metal Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

The 5 steps for metal plate joining process:

1) The 1^st Step: Implement on welding one side of the 2 pieces of joint steel plates;

2) The 2^nd Step: Flip the 2 pieces of half joint plates by means of traveling crane or other logistics equipment;

3) The 3^rd Step: Carry out carbon arc gouging on the 2 pieces of half joint plates;

4) The 4^th Step: Carry out welding on the opposing side of the 2 pieces of half joint plate;

5) The 5^th Step: Carry out carbon arc gouging on the finished joint plates;

2. With Put Into Use of Wuxi JACK MP Models Plate Butt Joining Welding Machine:

1)  Productivity Raise: Now, with advanced technique of Melt Thru (Single side welding and double side forming), by operating on MP series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, the 2^nd to the 5^th steps are removed, raising working efficiency on plate butt joint around 30%~40%;

2) Operator Reduced: The original necessary 2 operators for plate Flat Butt Welder can be reduced to only 1 operator now;

3) Safety Assurance: The safety risk of flipping heavy plates by means of traveling crane can be totally removed, guaranteeing fully operation of the plate Flat Butt Welder, benefiting from high level performance of Wuxi JACK MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine.
